Operational Maintenance
The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many years.
The following maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or scanner/scale
operating at peak performance.
Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accu-
mulation require periodic cleaning at least twice daily to assure best perfor-
mance during scanning and weighing operations. Use a clean, lint-free cloth or
paper towel dampened with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based window cleaner
to wipe away stains, smudges, fingerprints, spills, etc. from the scan window
and exterior surfaces (
Figure 31a).
Figure 31. Cleaning the Scanner
Daily, clean the debris chutes between the platter and the outer housing (Figure
31b). Most items can be cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a
thin, stiff object like a credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If nec-
essary, remove the platter (Figure 31c) to clean the debris chutes and drip rail.
